Sunblock is mandatory as Holi is an outdoor festival and it helps the skin from sun damage. Apply your sunscreen at least 20 mins before you step out.

Applying olive oil before you step out will help in the elimination of the colour post the celebration. It helps as a barrier between the skin and the colour.

Use cold water instead of hot or lukewarm water as it makes it tougher to get rid of the colour. Cold water helps in dissolving the colour better than the hot water.
